Two Hundred Citizens Go Out the Kimber-
lin Farm to Witness Gas Display.

About two hundred persons visited the gas
well of the Capital City Natural Gas Company

The flame was first shown issuing from two
threeinch vents and afterward from three-inch
opening. When turned on full pressure the
force of the gas extnguisbed the flame, showing
that under concentrated pressure the gas was
not all consumed, and that the exhibit would
have been more satisfactory with An opening of

of age. now somewhat broken in health. Heis
of medium height, slender.y built, with long
dark hair that falls in clusters on his shoulders.
He has crossed the ocean in search of health,
and will probably spend the winter here. though

later on, to the Sandwich islands, is expected
Mrs. Stevenson is remembered here as
petite. pretty brunette. very bright, and withal
very fond of a good novel. Indianapolis was
her birthplace. Her father, Jacob Vandegrift,
settled here in an early day and amassed quite
large property. He was engaged in the plan
ing mill business. and afterwards was connected
with the Nandalia road At the time
of his death he was living on farm near Clay
ton. Mrs. Stevenson tho oldest daughter.

Another, Mrs. Patterson, is living here. Her
brother. Jacob Vandegrift, is At present post

idence of Il. s. Mckee. was destroyed by fire.

PARKS'S BUST OF MR.. HENDRICKS.
1t Doesn't Please Mrs. Hendricks and Has Not
Been Accepted by the Committee.

At the public exhibition given Thursday of
Parkss bust of the late Vice-presdent Hen
bricks, number of citizens praised the artists
work. All members of the monument commit
tee who saw it were pleased with the likeness to
the original, and pronounced the artistic result
all that could be desired. The committeeman
say that they never had any intention
of accepting the bust and the design
offered by Mr.. Parks, except when they were
tered for competition with tho models and de-
signs of other sculptors and architects. If, after
inspection, under such circumstances. the Parks
design and bust proved to be of superior ex-
cellencs and what was wanted, then the commit
tee would decide in their favor and not before
The sculptor might have looked for judgment
in his favor without competition, but the exhibit
ton of his work was made with understand
ing with thu committee to that effect Other
sculptors had expressed their wish to compete
for the work, and the only difference between
them and Mr.. Parks is that the latter, at his
own expense. completed n bust and elaborate
design for the committees inspection before
competition was ordered.
Mrs. Hendricks is not as well pleased with
Mr.. Parker's results as are some of the intimate
friends OF her distinguished husband. She said
yesterday: THE bust is beautiful piece
of marble, and doubtless work of
art but 1t does not resemble Mr..
der various lights and tried to recognize the
semblance. but could that Mr.. Hen
bricks expression was there" II has become
reported that Mrs. Hendricks preferred shaft
to a statue, but on this point she said. II have
had no communication with the committee
whatever. and certainly have expressed
preference. have the highest regard for
Mr. Parks as a sculptor, but when called on for
an expression of opinion of his work / could not
do otherwise than express my conviction.
should be very sorry to interfere in any way
have never suggested whether they should erect
a shaft or a statue"
The committee met yesterday afternoon and
ordered it's chairman, Judge Rand, to advertise
for designs for the statue and monument and
open a correspondence with khe eminent sculp-
tors of the country soliciting them to compete
for the work. All designs, models
and busts are to bs placed on ex-
hibition here by January l. without
cost to this committee. 1t was decided that the
cost OF tho monument and statue shall not
exceed $4,000. and it is required that the statue
shall be thirteen and half feet high. and the
monument eighteen or twenty feet The com
naittec has already $l3. 900 of the sum desired.
